Form & Verdict
Dual course winner (2m1f/2m3f) on good ground in spring 2023 and returned from one-year absence with satisfactory run in much stronger race than this at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month; on a very good mark now and will be a danger to all if that recent outing brought him on.

J: Freddie Mitchell

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track.

Form & Verdict
Well held when third at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) in February but that run was arguably much better than his eventual 44l defeat might suggest, and he's of strong interest here if judged on his second of 16 behind a next-time-out winner at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago.

Both wins over hurdles have been over C&D, the latest in September off 6lb lower; will have benefited from his recent pipe-opener when fourth at Market Rasen (2m,good) and should run well.

Dual winner on good ground at Uttoxeter last summer; still in good form when last seen in the autumn and probably still on a workable mark but has fitness to prove after four months off and recent rain reduces his appeal.
